If the US and Israel resume strikes, how will Iran respond? Bombing Gulf oil fields with hundreds of missiles daily and blocking the Mandeb Strait once again.
Experts say there will be no prolonged conflict, but rather a "short and intense" campaign — dozens or even hundreds of missiles launched daily targeting oil fields and ports in the Gulf, dragging Saudi Arabia and the UAE into the war. Not enough? The Strait of Mandeb could then be blockaded, further disrupting global trade routes. This is Iran's prepared response.
"NACHO trades" are gaining popularity! Following Goldman Sachs, Bank of America also believes that oil prices will remain at the high level of $90 this year.
